Leslie Nielsen Dies; WW Revamps “Points”; Harry Potter #1

Every Monday, tune into Daily Buzz to get the who, what and whereabouts of the weekend's breaking news.

RIP, Leslie Nielsen

At age 84, the actor best known for his roles in Airplane ("I am serious, and don't call me Shirley.") and The Naked Gun has died due to complications from pneumonia, the Examiner reports. The Canada native, who arrived in Hollywood in the 1950s as a serious TV actor, will be remembered for becoming known as one of the great comedic actors of his time.

Good Points

For the last 13 years, Weight Watchers points system, which allows you a certain amount of point-designated foods per day, has used the same tallying approach: calories. But, this weekend, they announced a long-overdue overhaul, which increases points for fat content and reduces them for fiber. Registered dietician Keri Gans said, "the difference is where those calories are coming from."

Harry Potter's Box-Office Magic

Hermione and Harry did it again—top the box-office, that is. According to MTV.com, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1" succeeded in notching the franchise's highest 10-day launch ever: $220.4 million. However, much of that profit comes from higher ticket prices, it's been reported, and not actual attendance; the movie is predicted to me the third most successful of the series overall.
